CLAIRE McGLASSON - author, journalist, mentor

"A thorough understanding of the different genres, audiences, trends and markets in contemporary publishing. A nurturing, encouraging and supportive coach."

"A brilliant coach: patient, yet demanding. Fun to work with. A great sense of humour and empathy. She helped me up my game tremendously and steered me though some very difficult themes in my novel."

"She led me in new directions and gave me incredible advice that I believe has molded me into an immensely better writer, pushing me to consider points of view that I would have never been able to see on my own."

"Feedback was always expertly balanced between genuine encouragement, and clear suggestions about what I might need to change. She helped me structure the book and dig deep into my own feelings about the people and events I was writing about."

“It got to the stage that just knowing Claire was there, would be enough to keep the writing developing. She helped me find the writer within who can stand up to the ego that criticised every sentence I typed.”

"I would not have been able to complete the most recent draft of my novel without Claire’s valuable insight and guidance. She has a warmth about her which makes me feel at ease and able to talk about where I need help."
